Full Jill Clayburgh Biography
Jill Clayburgh (born April 30, 1944) is a twice Academy Award-nominated American actress of stage, motion pictures, and television.
Clayburgh was born in New York City to Julia (née Dorr), a theatrical production secretary for David Merrick, and Albert Henry "Bill" Clayburgh, a manufacturing executive. Clayburgh's family was Jewish and upper class; she was raised in a "fashionable" neighborhood in Manhattan's Upper East Side. She attended Sarah Lawrence College, where she decided that she wanted to be an actress.
Clayburgh has been married to screenwriter and playwright David Rabe since 1979. They have one son and one daughter, actress Lily Rabe.
In 2006, she appeared on Broadway in Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park with Patrick Wilson and Amanda Peet; she played Peet's mother, a role originated by the late Mildred Natwick. She also returned to the screen as a therapist's eccentric wife in the all-star ensemble dramedy Running With Scissors, an autobiographical tale of teenage angst and dysfunction based on the book by Augusten Burroughs and co-starring Annette Bening, Brian Cox, Joseph Fiennes, Evan Rachel Wood, Alec Baldwin and Gwyneth Paltrow. Her next role will be as Pat Nixon in the film Dirty Tricks, directed by Running With Scissors director Ryan Murphy. As of 2007, Clayburgh is one of the stars of the ABC television series Dirty Sexy Money, playing Leticia Darling. |
